Mortenson Construction used SCP 327 to protect the concrete on the new Bullpen Party Deck at Cheney Stadium in Tacoma, WA because of its curing qualities [reduced cracking] and for quicker access. Once SCP was applied to the raised deck, the construction crew was able to access the slab within one-hour. This immediate access allowed the contractors to finish the job ahead of schedule, opening the 70,000 square foot deck just 20 days after time-of-placement. Continue reading

Nov 19, 2014 /prREACH/ -- Peanuts, popcorn, crackerjacks, and more are a big part of baseball culture. But much of the food and drinks land on the concrete in a baseball stadium, creating ongoing maintenance and safety issues. And, on ballpark party decks, there’s a greater variety of spillage, including BBQ sauce and grease, creating major cleanup challenges. That’s why Mortenson Construction used SCP 327 to protect the concrete on the new Bullpen Party Deck at Cheney Stadium in Tacoma, WA.
Mortenson also selected SCP 327 because of its curing qualities [reduced cracking] and for quicker access. Once SCP was applied to the raised deck, the construction crew was able to access the slab within one-hour. This immediate access allowed the contractors to finish the job ahead of schedule, opening the 70,000 square foot deck just 20 days after time-of-placement.
SCP 327 is not a coating; it is a spray-applied treatment that produces a calcium silicate hydrate gel, the “glue” of concrete, to effectively plug the capillaries and pores, and protect the concrete from the inside out. In addition to minimizing the readily accessible concrete porosity, SCP Technology helps maintain concrete chemistry to preserve reinforcing steel corrosion resistance.
SCP 327 allows for easy post-game cleanup and decreases the need for pressure-washing. And, unlike coatings and other penetrating sealers that require re-application every three to five years, SCP is permanent, locking out moisture and saving recurring maintenance costs.
SCP Technology is a home run for Cheney Stadium’s partygoers, making a huge difference in the appearance and sustainability of the park's concrete surfaces. Because of SCP’s performance and easy maintenance benefits, Cheney’s owners plan to apply SCP Technology to the other party decks in the near future.
About Spray-Lock Concrete Protection®, LLC (SCP) Established in 1982, Spray-Lock Concrete Protection® (SCP) manufactures spray-applied concrete treatments that penetrate into concrete capillaries and pores to waterproof and protect the entire capillary and pore structure. SCP technology ensures that concrete capillaries are blocked – permanently – thus turning the concrete surface into a suitable substrate for application of coatings and coverings. Testing has shown that SCP treatment performs concrete curing equal to or better than 28-day water ponding. This technology is a strengthening and surface hardening solution that also increases sustainability for concrete floors and structures. With over 30 years of successful projects in more than 250 million square feet, SCP Technology provides time-proven solutions for indoor and outdoor concrete.
